Whats the Rev limiter on a R34 Rb26???

I just bought my r32 gtr a little over a week ago and it has plenty of mods and Im trying to figure out everything that could possibly be done to this car that I dont know of. Heres a link to the car with known mods

So one of the biggest questions I am having is I have no idea if the block or head is built at all and the main reason im asking this is because I honestly do not think I have a rev limiter. She pulls SUPER hard and fast from 5500+rpm and before you know it im at 8k rpm and need to shift. Well today I kinda went too far and it hit 8500 and still no rev limiter (im not trying to rev it high it just goes from 5500-8k within a second or so and im still not used to the power). This is a chipped ECU that i plan on ditching within 6 months for a Haltech, but right now im confused. Was this motor possibly built to go 9k revs or something? I highly doubt whoever ECu tuned this thing would remove the rev limiter.

I currently want to buy a Zeitronix wideband data logger system and a Bee-R just to get me by for now so i dont blow my engine but at that point I might as well save up a bit more money and just go Haltech which will do both of the above with loads more.

Your thoughts?

Im in the USA and the car was bought from japan so no way of actually knowing what was all done. I know a lot of the stuff but this one is weird. Having a huge T04R turbo wouldnt it be weird to raise the rev limiter to an unsafe spot by the tuner? the power never falls off and keeps going.

I don't know about 34's but 32 tachos like to "exaggerate"

are the r32 clusters known to be off at high rpm?

Used to rev my 33 to 9500

Don't bother getting a bee r rev limiter, they are rubbish.
Take it to a tuner and just get them to check it out. Also if you are unsure, play it safe and don't rev this shit out of it until you get it all sorted

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
